John G. Lake 10/8 Monday Meditation

John G. Lake (1870-1935) had one of the greatest evangelistic / healing ministries of all time, along with Smith Wigglesworth and Maria Woodworth-Etter. He got serious about the Word of God after seeing nearly every relative in his enormous family die of horrible diseases. After Lake got ahold of the Word, four family members were instantly healed of longstanding conditions. His ministry centered in South Africa and later in Spokane, Washington. His ministry recorded over 100,000 healings in Spokane alone in five years.


And now, beloved, is the Holy Ghost in the Church today? Verily, yes. But you say, "We don't see Him work in this way in our church!" Why? Because you say, "All these things were for apostolic days." Can you find anywhere in the Scriptures that the gifts of the Holy Ghost were withdrawn from the Church of Christ? There is no biblical authority for such an assertion, but rather we read, "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29).
